Here we report a novel functional role for CD36 scavenger receptor and AGE and FFA palmitate (PA) in tubular epithelial apoptosis associated with TED and progression of DNP.
Branch 1 of the HIT superfamily includes the ubiquitous Hint enzymes [ 25] plus two enzymes with a more phylogenetically resstricted distribution, namely Aprataxin, which is lost in humans with ataxia-oculomotor apraxia [ 26, 27] and the scavenger mRNA decapping enzyme Dcps [ 28, 29].
Microglia in the central nervous system express scavenger receptors and are involved in the oxidized LDL uptake and metabolism [ 34 ] . These cells are, thus, the macrophage-equivalent in the central nervous system [ 35 ] . Results from this laboratory showed that cholesterol oxides can cause programmed cell death in microglia [ 7 ] , which suggests that microglia, similar to macrophages, can be a potential target for oxidized LDL toxicity.
Reduced renal mRNA levels of the class B scavenger receptor CD36 were characteristic for diabetic mice with albuminuria [5].
Injured adult DRG neurons do not die after axonal injury [ 15 ] as a result of the upregulation of cell survival factors such as the small heat shock protein HSP27 [ 16 ] . We now find several genes that could have a survival-promoting role, including the peripheral benzodiazepine receptor, whose agonists are potent antiapoptotic compounds [ 17 ] , GADD45A, which maintains genomic stability and appears to be anti-apoptotic in neurons after ischemic damage [ 18 ] , metallothionein 1L, which is a free radical scavenger [ 19 ] , GTP cyclohydrolase 1, which is obligatory for the actions of NGF on PC12 cells [ 20 ] , and IES-JE (MCP-1) which attracts macrophages, which in turn have been reported to have a role in neuronal survival [ 21 ] .
